(c) uses or offers or attempts to use as such a licence an instrument not being a complete licence or an instrument untruly purporting or appearing to be a licence, unless he shows to the satisfaction of the court that he did not know of that incompleteness or untruth and that he could not by the use of reasonable diligence have obtained knowledge thereof; or

(d) if he obtains or endeavours to obtain any licence, certificate or other instrument required by that Part or by an order of the Minister responsible for agriculture or regulation made thereunder, by means of a false pretence, unless he shows to the satisfaction of the court that he did not know of that falsity and that he could not by the use of reasonable diligence have obtained knowledge thereof; or

(e) if with intent unlawfully to evade or defeat the provisions of Part II of this Ordinance, or any order of the Minister responsible for agriculture or regulation made thereunder he grants or issues any instrument being in form a licence, certificate or other instrument made or issued under that Part or under an order of the Minister responsible for agriculture or regulation made thereunder, for permitting or regulating the movement of a particular animal, or the doing of any other particular thing but being issued in blank that is to say not being before the issue thereof so filled up as to any particular animal or thing; or

(f) if he uses or offers or attempts to use, for any purpose under Part II of this Ordinance or under any order of the Minister responsible for agriculture or regulation made thereunder, an instrument so issued in blank, unless he shows to the satisfaction of the court that he did not know of it having been so issued and that he could not with reasonable diligence have obtained knowledge thereof; or
